I have sentimental feelings for a couple of languages.
C feels "like home" in that it was the first language I really started making actual things in. Even though I'd have to look up practically everything if I tried to write something nowadays.
But honestly, it's going to be Tandy Color BASIC which is the first thing I wrote anything in after my ZX81 days.
It was a weirdly nice and friendly interface, and I sometimes read old computer listings for the nostalgias. Feels like visiting my childhood.
Zx81😱😗 you like a founding father ? Awesome stuff!
Hopefully everyone gets a chance at being old :)
yes. I'm honoured. I will be blessed to get as much wisdom out of you as I possibly can.
I think 🤔 my first crush was Javascript😘. And now, we are married to each other💏.
So, I feel more than at home with it even though it gives me a tough time😥.
Apart from that, I feel at home with JavaScript. 🙂
Happy Coding🤓
Ruby clicked for me, and I'm still going strong.
I've started from C++ many years ago, worked with Java but now it's definitely Python and maybe a bit of Go in some cases
Rust
I started my career with PHP. And every time i work with it , it feels like home
My very first true love was Python <3
Absolutely Angular, I had my first experience with it just 3 years ago and since then I'm only more sure that it's my language to follow my life!
With Angular I feel able and comfortable to create any application 🥹
It’s JS for me. It's the one language I don’t know much of but one I know a lot more than most of. And I can get it going and get things done with and I guess it’s the language I use as a comparison as I am now learning python php and other frame works which are like new languages to me. That’s how it’s like a home language.
As a matter of fact if I had a choice I wouldn’t learn all these other languages. But industrial circumstances I guess insist that I do.
But I love JS.
F#. For me, the question is "Why not F#?", rather than "What language should I use?"
Of course, there might be times where F# isn't the most suitable/right language, but it's certainly my default choice.
JavaScript feels so much like home for me.
I started out with Java and I still love it. I've experimented with many languages, but Java is the one that just 'clicked' for me.
Recently, I've also started adopting Go; it's a nice refreshment from Java's admittedly verbose take on many paradigms. I think both are a good mix to know.
C++ :)
I think in Python.
I started with Pascal, then did C++, Java, C, PHP, Python, Kotlin, JavaScript and Scala respectively. Python has the most logical structure IMO, although the OO structure could be more polished.
